La Perla Fall/Winter 2010

The Fall/Winter collection from La Perla gives us everything we’ve come to expect from this luxury lingerie brand and more. They’ve gone all film noir on us, with underwear sets recalling those on-screen sirens of cinema from years gone by: Lauren Bacall, Barbara Stanwyck and Ava Gardner.

With contrasting textures, fake boning suggested by satin trimming and crossover ribbons of corsetry, these are pieces that take us back to those days when functional underwear was beautiful and you would slip into something more “comfortable” for when your husband came home at cocktail hour…

With contrasting textures and plenty of peekaboo skin flashes through lace and tulle, this mix of femininity and Italian sensuality makes us covet this collection. The only issue I have with the beautiful images? The fact that the model in the second and last pictures looks a little like she might be dreaming of having a sandwich… We like a few more curves on our lingerie models please!

Hester Aba

Hester is originally from the incredibly glamorous city of Bristol, in England. Determined to escape her West-Country roots (though a love of good scrumpy should never be lost) she packed off for uni at Oxford to waste several years on a degree in Philosophy and never looked back… Following a stint in Switzerland eating too much fondue and meeting her future husband, they jumped at the chance to follow their dream of heading to Asia, and landed in Hong Kong in 2008. Along with partners-in-crime and fellow Tai-Tais, Maura Thompson and Natalie Firestone, she founded Sassy in 2009 and then Sassy Mama in 2011 after the birth of her daughter Elodie. Number 2 daughter Margot arrived in August 2012 and then two months later it was off to her new home in Singapore with tinies in tow. Hester is discovering the Lion City one shophouse at a time with a love for seeking out Singapore’s hidden secrets!
